SWE at meta, love creating things and solving problems. Previously worked in aerospace on safety critical software/GNC.



there will be a blog post about this. on what this means for bun, benchmarks, memory usage, maintainability going forward, and also the literal process of doing this (it wasn’t just “claude, rewrite bun in rust. make no mistakes”) this is a 960,000 LOC rewrite, the code truly works, passing the test suite on Linux and soon other platforms. e2e I started working on this 6 days ago. this would’ve been a massive amount of work by hand.


why: I am so tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability issues. it would be so nice if the language provided more powerful tools for preventing these things.




In Bun’s zig fork, we added parallel semantic analysis and multiple codegen units to the llvm backend on macOS & Linux This makes debug builds of Bun compile > 4x faster, improving internal development velocity



Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found. All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.











Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet. It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back. You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.
